Luck is Psychological Management
Karmayogi
Luck is that power which manages
affairs rightly, those affairs which manager’s initiative mismanages. Those who are
around lucky people know that the Master constantly takes the wrong foolish
initiative which all others dread, but somehow things come around and are
ultimately successful. They see a FOOL in action and also perceive a FORCE that
sets right his conscious folly and, in spite of his initiative, brings success.
After some experience, they declare in despair, “What! This fool is lucky while I am not”.
Management is a system that
dictates the right procedures and ensures right results and, more importantly,
prevents human meddling, even if it is from authority. On such occasions,
people see and say, Our company is organised, systems are in place, rules are to
be obeyed, no one is above LAW and that is the value of our company. Systems
take care of production where man can fail. Systems prevent officious human
interference. Organisation requires systems, and systems require details of
precision. Communication at all levels is paramount. It needs to be received in
time, which means punctuality should preside over the entire company. And much
more is required.
Man’s character
is the psychological organisation by which he functions. His values are the
Spiritual skills that work the organisation of character. Men of character are
men of accomplishment. They are known for their numerous values that are
commendable. Character offers high accomplishment. Still it is not Luck. Luck
is the protective Spiritual energy enveloping one’s character as well as personality to ensure
miraculous results life has in store, in spite of stupid human
initiatives.
Invocation of Spirit ensures Luck at once, but slowly
helps build character and personality in anyone. Spirit makes one see the
existence of luck and shows it is not beyond his reach. But what comes in, comes
in to consummate the work on hand. It cannot stay. For luck to stay forever,
there must be a fabric of personality that retains it. That is character,
which is an organisation of inner energies into that
fabric.
